| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? by the way, "analytical", is not a synonym for "accurate".if the emm is analytical, it is significantly colored. how is that a basis for recommending it for purchase ?who would want to own an "analytical" sounding component ? | |

| The closest approach...really i have heard many combinations of dipoles and cones. in each case i have noticed the distinct sound of each driver. thus, for my ears there is a loss of coherence.i would like to be put to the test, blindfolded, and listen to a pair of electrostat... | |
| The closest approach...really i have owned quads--57s and 63s, and will purchase another pair of 57s, soon.i would not add a sub to the 57s. the integration of the two drivers is a big problem.i have heard quads with various subs, including gradients, and i don't like what i h... | |

| class d i am auditioning a class d non digital switching amp.the raptor amp is a serious reworking of the bang and olufsen ice power module.it is a product from the glacier audio company, www.glacieraudio.com .i generally prefer tube-based designs, but th... | |
| Laid Back Speakers amps, players etc i think laid back means a greater distance between listener and musicians than the distance between the microphone and musicians, while forward is the opposite of laid back. both are departures from the accurate reproduction of a recording.thus, t... | |
| The Richard Clark "all amps sounds the same" test the alleged differneces between amps , following the restrictions established by mr clark, are irrelevant with respect to purchasing an amplifier.if i am considering two amplifiers, a conrad johnson mv 125 adn some current solid state amp, i belie... | |
| The Richard Clark "all amps sounds the same" test hi lightminer:what differnce does it make if you do or do not detect differences ?people will still buy amp a instead of amp b, regardless of the outcome of this test.at best it is an academic exercise. at worse, it is a pointless exercise.this te... |
